history
In 1995, the existing has been online service BTX of Deutsche Telekom renamed T-Online. In September 1995, Deutsche Telekom founded the t-online.de portal as a contact point for the Internet and e-mail communication. In addition to aggregated and editorial news, t-online.de also streamed exclusive content, such as the world's first live video chat with an astronaut in space .
In 1996 what was then Online Pro Dienst GmbH & Co. KG was spun off from Deutsche Telekom.
On January 1, 2000, the name was changed to T-Online International AG and the corporate form was changed to a stock corporation . On April 17, 2000, the T-Online share was first traded on the stock exchange. Their issue price was 27 euros; the share was oversubscribed 20 times. In mid-June 2000, the share was included in the Nemax-50 index on the Neuer Markt .
At the end of 2006, T-Online was bought back by the parent company Telekom. The merger failed for a long time due to bitter resistance from numerous small shareholders .
On September 17, 2010, Deutsche Telekom AG published a technical announcement in the Federal Gazette about the improvement of the exchange ratio in connection with the merger of the former T-Online International AG with Deutsche Telekom AG.
In November 2015, Deutsche Telekom sold the website t-online.de and the marketer Interactive Media to Ströer Media . The e-mail service as well as the media and customer center will continue to be operated by Deutsche Telekom. The purchase price was around 300 million euros. The transaction took place by way of a capital increase by Ströer against contribution in kind by the two companies; Deutsche Telekom received an 11.6 percent stake in Ströer. In August 2016, t-online.de became part of Ströer Digital Publishing GmbH. The company is based in Frankfurt am Main . The new central editorial office is based in Berlin .
On March 25, 2019, the website received a new logo. For the first time, it no longer contains the typical Telekom T. All that remains of the magenta color is a small magenta dot, which is supposed to reflect the 24-year history of t-online.de .
